Non-black mascara

dudara

I'm coming to the end of a tube of plum-coloured No7 mascara that I absolutely love. However, it was part of a limited edition so I doubt I'll be able to replace the exact shade.

Does anyone have any recommendations for non-black mascaras, preferably that also come in a waterproof formula.

Yes!!! Go to Yves Saint Laurent in BTs Dudara and I promise you'll never look back (simply because your lashes will be so utterly gorgeous and long!) They have black, plum, navy, purple, British racing green and a number of other colours, it stays on brilliantly and won't smudge.

Estee Lauder had some mad coloured mascaras out a while back - pinks and turquoise and purple. Don't think they have the pink colour any more but its worth checking the other colours out. MAC have green and blue mascara but its not very good. I find the cheaper the brand,the better the coloured mascara is. Got a Topshop blue mascara years ago and it was brilliant. So I'd say to check out Boots for the coloured mascara but give Estee Lauder a look too.

PURPLE you say. hmmmm
think its time to do something about my boring black mascaras!
threw out a load of brownish black crap a while back, cant stand the stuff, but purple or navy would be nice, especially as i wear a lot of purple eyeshadow (and purple in general...)

If you're not looking to spend much money, Maybelline do a great plum mascara. It's the Wonder Lash one, I think. The one that's in the fat navy tube anyway.

Yes, PURPLE!!:p

It's No. 4 of the Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils and it's particularly lovely if you're wearing a grey/smoky eyeshadow. It's not OTT either, it catches daylight but isn't gaudy.

I think Benefit have a number of different coloured mascaras, I rmember trying a plum/purple one which looked amazing without being gaudy

Most of the higher-end brands have coloured mascaras; they're a great way of standing out from the crowd! Bourjois and Maybelline also do them, and they're great value for money. Bourjois are owned by Chanel, so it's basically Chanel expertise at a cheaper price ...of course the Bourjois product is always on the market about a year after the Chanel product!

I went into the YSL counter in BT Cork over the weekend and tried out a few shades. In the end I opted for the Cils Infini Mascara in Burgundy as it just made my eyelashes curl so much.

I'm going back next payday for a shade of green that I also fell in love with. It looked great with my eyes.

Thanks for all your recommendations

That's brilliant girl! I'm telling you, I'm absolutely addicted to the YSL range, it's like wearing false eyelashes!! Is it the racing green shade that you've fallen for? Have it, gorgeous!!

Clarins do a lovely violet coloured mascara
